Early in the morning, Jiyeon, who had prepared thoroughly, quickly headed to the convention hall at Samsung Station, the venue for today’s shareholders’ meeting.
“Finally, today is the day!”
Although her heart was pounding, and she hadn’t slept well the night before, she felt no fatigue.
Upon arriving at the convention hall, many people were already seated in their places.
However, Kim Jiwon had not yet appeared.
The executives of C&C Global were seated in a separate area at the front of the convention hall.
Among them, Cha Minwoo could be seen beside Cha Seungjo.
Jiyeon, to avoid drawing attention, took a seat in the corner and carefully reviewed the agenda for today.
Audit and Business Reports and Approval
Strategic Presentation
Executive Personnel Appointment
For agenda items 1 and 3, electronic voting for shareholders was arranged, and buttons for electronic voting were distributed to participants.
“Executive personnel appointment?”
Behind the written content of the agenda, a brief introduction of the personnel to be appointed today was provided.
Even at a glance, she could tell.
“Trying to place their close relatives in key positions again? These people are relentless, persistently trying to manipulate for their own benefit.”
Soon, the opening ceremony explanation signaling the start of the general meeting appeared, and on the large front screen, a video highlighting C&C Global’s first-half achievements played.
After about five minutes of a fast-paced video accompanied by upbeat music, the first-half audit report and business report followed.
Observing the numbers filling the data, which she had seen through various corruption materials, Jiyeon couldn’t help but suppress a smirk.
Even the operating profits, which were supposed to be more than minus 10% compared to the previous year at the very least, were depicted as all positive.
In addition, all the figures marked as profits were drawn as very large amounts, creating a tremendous profit curve.
“How can they present such absurd numbers, even for a relatively small company, without considering how they’ll justify it later?”
But with even the supporting documents for these figures provided being falsified…
The shareholders were unaware of this fact and could only judge based on the presented report materials.
After an hour of presentations, electronic voting was conducted.
Attendance: 224
Approval: 212, Rejection: 10, Abstention: 2.
Jiyeon shook her head excitedly upon seeing the results on the screen.
Hopefully, everything would turn around after Kanghyun’s presentation.
Soon, a large screen filled with Kanghyun’s photo and his resume appeared, indicating that it was time for the strategic presentation.
At the front stage, Kanghyun stepped forward with a wireless microphone and greeted the shareholders.
“Hello, shareholders. I am Kanghyun Lee, head of the strategic planning department, here to present C&C Global’s strategic plan. Today, I have prepared my materials to clearly show you the past, present, and future of C&C Global.”
Kanghyun, dressed casually in a semi-formal suit like a young CEO in Silicon Valley, began explaining the file containing the figures related to the previously presented materials.
“As shown earlier, C&C Global continues steady growth despite numerous challenges. Especially in the last three years, we have achieved a very steep growth curve, as shown in this chart. Can you believe it? Three years ago and two years ago, we were growing at a rate of more than 25% in operating profit each year.”
On the giant screen behind Kanghyun, a steep graph representing C&C Global’s recent operating profit was displayed as motion graphics, tempting the shareholders.
“I’m impressed even though I work here.”
As Kanghyun spoke with a smile, some shareholders expressed their satisfaction with applause, and soon the applause filled the convention hall.
Kanghyun laughed heartily with his handsome face until the applause subsided.
However, in the brief moment of silence, he suddenly collected his smile, wore a cool gaze, and addressed the shareholders.
“But, shareholders! Until a moment ago, you were completely deceived.”
At Kanghyun’s abrupt words, the hall buzzed, and the eyes of Cha Seungjo, Cha Minwoo, and other executives sitting at the front widened.
“From now on, I will explain in detail how C&C Global has been deceiving all of you through the materials I’m about to show.”
New graphs and data appeared on the massive screen, and on one side of the screen, photos of embezzlement data and manipulated materials were exposed like a video.
Kanghyun began explaining what the exposed materials on the screen represented, and soon, around 30 individuals appeared somewhere, sharing printed files with the shareholders sitting in their seats.
The suddenly appearing individuals were the security team that Jiyeon had prepared in advance.
